Morale around the Chicago Fire locker room is low and fans are frustrated. Saturday's 1-1 draw against Houston was the emotional equivalent of a 4th straight loss. Coach Carlos de los Cobos seems to be having difficulty finding solutions to the side's midfield struggles and defensive mistakes.
The Chicago Fire reserves, on the other hand, thrashed the Dynamo 3-0 in the opening of the reserve league schedule with a brace from trialist Martin Rivas.
Links to all the latest reports on this tale of two cities after the break. Don't miss a beat.

What exactly are the requirements for CDLC to be sent packing? Does he have to see out the season? Does he have to not make the playoffs again? It’s not like he’s even losing to teams like RSL or a fully stocked LA. He’s losing to bad teams!

Apart from a complete and utter train wreck the rest of the year...
I think he sees the year out. If we end up finishing poorly, he won’t have any excuses like he had last year. He knows what the MLS is like as a league now. He was able to shape the roster to his plans and we are seeing that in action (or not) right now. I think he’s gone at the end of the year if we don’t make the playoffs.
